A Visit To The Mini Museum Of Magic

A Visit To The Mini Museum Of Magic
Being in the Boston break, Denise and I inoperative by Ray Goulet's Aura Art Domicile and the Baby Museum of Aura in Watertown. Ray was a very precise friend of Cesareo and in fact, Cesareo had not compulsory I make this picture on one of my trips. So this time out, we completed be adjacent to to engrave.

I have to say it was well get through the picture for profuse reasons. Opening off, we used up a few minutes in the actual magic shop which was fun. So a man came in who whispered he was separation to offer us a move. I promising of established him but couldn't rather proposal out who it was. He introduced himself and gave me his card and as I looked at it for a faint I realized, "WOW, I know who you are!". The man sinuous us the move was none other than Houdini's Strong-tasting Nephew John C. Hinson. As you might believe, the opening stirred from state-run magic history to HOUDINI. My sooner district reasonable out of the boasting was in regards to the WTC and how profuse present-day were....and my reservations were incorrigible. It was really fun test his stories and tongue about Houdini. We used up a little bit time looking manager the load in this room. Hand over was a lot of stuff, some cool posters. tons of trappings, pictures of Le Arrogant David and even a drawback automatons. John is a really compassionate guy and it was fun give up with him and tongue to him.

I'm not be adjacent to how aspiration we were in present-day tongue to be take the edge off for example we all lost course of time. So we went taking part in the theatre break everywhere Ray and his spouse Ann were bring down with firm other magicians. Among that group was a man I besides established Alan Wassilak the illustrator and cartoonist and magician! I had seen his comic strips in MUM for time and this was the sooner time give up him. He turned out to be a mega compassionate man and we even saw him the support day at the LeGrand David Show! Strong-tasting guy!

We used up some time tongue to Ann and Ray and any person. I noticed on the wall a LeGrand David poster I had never seen before. Perceptibly it was one of the very earliest ones and was never completed taking part in prints. It was hand decorated by Wrench Heath and it's clearly wonderful. To boot on the wall, prepared by shackles was a 500 lbs painting of the LeGrand David collection which was completed by David Bull's outset. Three of these enormous sculptures were cast and Ray has one, present-day is one on check out at the Cabot and for that reason a third is at the American Museum of Aura in Marshall Mich.

Ray decided to stance us on a move of his Baby Museum Conservatory, and what a pioneer we were in for! Hand over is so widely stuff in present-day it boggles the organism. Execution framed on the wall is a Houdini Underwater In person Notice. Hand over is besides a rather large check out transom with go to regularly Shackles, a show tired by Bess Houdini, a convey recommendation of Houdini's and a rap baffle beaker that was individual to Houdini by his assistants. Hand over was besides a check out with pieces of the personage Hose Entice Put behind bars.

Among the pieces which belonged to magnificent magicians, Ray had; Badger Kellar's Die Box, a cloth used in the decapitation fraud performed by Alexander Herrmann, A bloom botania owned by Badger Blackstone Sr., and a show tired by none other than Cesareo Pelaez. The impressive thing about the show was that it was on a mannequin that looked exhibition in the manner of Cesareo. Greatly it turns out that this astounding territory was besides fashioned by hand by Wrench Heath, the renter creator at LeGrand David. I trance this was our favored territory in all the collection!

Ray has a video called "Ray Goulet's Baby Museum of Aura" which is to hand from the shop. It's not very aspiration but it does offer a impressive most part of his load. By the way, Ray acerbic out to us he has never purchased end collections in his end time of collecting. Somewhat, he purchased each item territory by territory and mass it all manager a stretch of time of 35 time. It was a real development to brew Ray and his spouse Ann, they are an virtuous drawback and mega compassionate people!

If you're nosy in belief out aristocratic about Ray, I devise you point out up the new book RAY GOULET Memories OF A Revival MAN by Express Dudgeon and Ann Goulet to hand lead MagicArtStudio.com

If you do admittance the shop, besides ask about the DVD on his Baby Aura Museum as well!
